In performance the band is known for seamless integration of electronics into their sets, creating their signature "dubbed out madness."

The group's latest release, "Macondo," is written almost entirely in Spanish. It continues the band's tradition of combining unrelenting experimentation with a strong pop sensibility, and includes a punishing jungle/punk cover of Bob Marley's "War."

F?sforo has also recently recorded "Cumbia de Obama," an infectious tribute to the presidential candidate.
